People poppet pattern (make it as detailed or un-detailed as you like. I default to a basic gingerbread-man pattern)

A chicken heart, if you have one available. If not, whatever.

Sharpie

Extra thread

What the fuck do I do with all this?

1.) Make your poppet: Sew it together. As you hand-stitch your poppet, remind it what it did to piss you off. For example, as you stitch, speak/mutter/think loudly “You are [insert name here] and you done fucked up. You did [insert thing here].” Use your sharpie to mark it with their real name, face, details, etc.

2.) stuff it half full of meat. If you have one, shove your chicken heart in there. Fill it up the rest of the way with meat. Now your poppet has a greasy, nasty meat body, just like in real life!

3.) Name your poppet, and give it life. Ya’ll probably know how to do this if you’re doing poppety things.

4.) Bind that fucker up. Take that extra thread and tie their arms together. Bind their legs, blind them, wrap up their mouth. Whatever.

5.) Here’s the fun part: Chuck that poppet into the street, onto railroad tracks, into a shallow grave- whatever. Make sure wherever you throw it, it will be destroyed. Busy streets and railroad crossings work well.

6.) Enjoy the rapid deterioration of your target’s life. For me, it was pmuch immediate. Your mileage may vary.

This curse is meant to isolate your target. It is best done when the person you wish to isolate has made you feel isolated and alone in the past. I personally suggest removing the curse after a little while, since it is so intense.

When I first did it, I intended to leave it on my target for as long as the magick lasted, which was surprisingly longer than I expected, and removed the curse after 3 months.

What you’ll need:

One plastic/glass cylindrical container (nothing that will disintegrate easily, since water is involved) with a lid/cork

One poppet

One black string/ribbon

One red candle

A small glass of water

One tsp. of vegetable/cooking oil

One page of writing describing what you felt and wish for your target to feel in their isolation

Begin this curse by lighting your red candle. Set it on front of the container. (not too close, of course.) Allow its energy to surround and seep inside of it. Visualize your anger as a red stream flooding from the candle and out into the ‘well’ (cylindrical container).

Pick up your poppet and clearly picture your target in your mind. Fill it with dark energy, maybe grey or black, clouding the poppets sense of friendship, connectedness, and community. Place it into the well, and add the water.

Pour the oil into the well, and make sure to get it coated on the sides. This will keep your target from crawling out, since it is slippery and hard to grasp things through.

Read your page of writing to the poppet and the well, pouring your energy and emotion into them. Tuck the paper into your well, and close it up. Use the red candle wax to seal the edges of the lid, and tie your black ribbon around the neck of your container.

Shake up the container to disorient and confuse your target while the curse takes effect.

Keep your well somewhere you can easily find it again, this way you can change, add things to, or break the curse if need be.

*I was approached by a followers to write this post. Curses are a controversial topic in the Witchcraft community, some feel very strongly that a Witch should never resort to using curses. I will say this, whatever you put out into the world is sure to come back to you. Curse with caution, if you must curse at all.

Hollywood typically has several films with alleged curses tacked onto their names, due to numerous deaths that all have these films in common. One such film is Atuk, an adaption of the novel The Incomparable Atuk.

Atuk has been attempted to be filmed and released numerous times, but has been repeatedly cancelled due to the deaths of nearly every actor interested in or promised to play the title character, Atuk.

The first was the famous John Belushi, who was the first to read the script and be considered for the role. He died of a drug overdose shortly after announcing interest in the role. The next was Sam Kinison, who had been confirmed and even filmed a scene before demanding changes. He left, being dissatisfied, and the film company filed a suit against him that left him bankrupt. He died of a car crash a short while later.

The alleged curse then reached John Candy, who had also been desired for the role of Atuk and reportedly died of a heart attack while reading the script. Some also report that the death of Michael O'Donoghue was linked to Atuk as well, for he had read the script and recommended the role to both Kinison and Candy.

Finally, the infamous curse hit Chris Farley, who was slated for the role of Atuk like his idol, Belushi. He then died of a drug overdose before he could accept. Allegedly, some report Farley had encouraged friend Phil Hartman to accept a co-starring role as well and had even shown him the script. Phil Hartman died six months later, murdered by his wife.

The film adaptation has since been dropped almost completely, the superstitious fearing to touch it. I’m not sure if I believe in cursed scripts, but all the coincidences are very interesting to read, aren’t they?

First take the marker and the bag. Write the targets name at the bottom of the bag. If you don’t know their full name draw something that reminds you of them or why you’re angry. Draw a poppet on the bag, an outline of the person. Simple vague person-like shape is fine. Make sure there is a neck and head towards the top of the bag.

Once you’re satisfied with your artwork fill the bag with all your nasties. (I used nightshade berries, thorns, and a rotten apple core since I was going to bury this in the earth.)

At the “neck” of your person wrap the red yarn around tightly. You are sealing the bag shut and also sealing the curse within the target.

Leave plenty of extra yarn, you’re going to be tying knots in a moment.

Now dig your little grave for you bagged friend.

“I dig and dig and dig your grave,You are no longer strong or braveA wicked being, foul and vileSo why not rest here for a while.Full of rot and poisonous giftsOf broken odds and tangled bitsBut now we must part our waysAs you suffer till the end of days.”

Now comes the knots:

“One knot for your crime,Another for my timeA third knot to you I bind And the last for peace of mind.”

After you’ve finished knotting away they go. Bury them in an unmarked grave. May your dreams be peaceful and pleasant knowing your mark will suffer internal torments.

“All curses that are directed towards me and the witchy community are deactivated through the blogs this sigil is posted on. The curse cannot affect anyone that receives a post through my blog, or any other blog with this symbol protecting it”

We’re gonna curse like the
Evil Queen of the Sea herself, Ursula! This is a curse that would
probably work best for you if you’ve been wronged in the past by your
target but can easily be changed to suit whatever need you have. And
just a heads up, it’s a pretty nasty curse.

What You’ll Need:

Your rage A jar or bottle A hammer A red sharpie Sea Water A photo or item of the target Tacks/nails/razors or anything sharp A seashell Rubbing Alcohol

1. Before you actually start the ritual, you’re going to want to
charge the target’s item/photo and your shell. When charging the
target’s item, you’re going to want to charge it with all of the
feelings/misfortunes you want them to experience and you’re going to
want to focus on every positive memory you’ve ever had with this person
and put all of that energy towards the sea shell. (There is a reason.)

2. Light your candle. If you have a picture of the person, you’re going
to want to draw an X over their face to show how screwed they really
are. On the back of the photo, you’re going to want to write “You are
nothing now, but a poor unfortunate soul.”

3. Place item or
picture in the jar, pour in your sea water and cover your jar. Shake
your jar and as you do so, say; “Come winds and storms of the [Insert
Name of nearest ocean] to disrupt what peace you thought you knew.”

This little gem is heavily inspired by the last 8 years of listening to God Module. This will be a long one so buckle in!

Purpose: This is one of my “just fuck me up” curses. If done properly, this will reflect everything you’ve experienced because of them. Additionally, it will cause paranoia, fear and often, a rash of extremely unpleasant dreams. It’s meant to be used one someone you know that’s been abusive or otherwise messed with your mind/body/soul/etc in an unforgivable way.

Something of the target’s (DNA, something they gave you or even just their name)

Paper & writing utensil

Steal wool

Jar large enough for poppet

Spot to bury it

Procedure:

Before every curse, and especially this one, I suggest protecting yourself. Begin by listening to the song. Read the lyrics if needed. While listening, work on your poppet.

Simply cut your fabric into two gingerbread people shapes and place both right side together. Straight stitch around leaving ¼" seam starting at the neck and ending on the other side of the next. Now turn your poppet inside out. You’ll now have the right sides of the fabric facing out.
Use your writing utensil and paper to write down all the shit they ever did to you. All of it. Tear it up.

With your stuffing and herbs, being filling it. If you can’t mix it all up, do it with alternating layers of stuffing/herbs/paper/stuffing/herbs/paper.You’ll want the piece of them in the center. Use a pencil or chopstick to get the hands and feet. Once you’ve almost filled the head, sprinkle your mirror pieces in. They’ll just lay on top, coincidentally where a brain would be. Carefully sew the head up.

Now, sew the sequin eyes on or use your silver thread to make some sort of eye (french knots are good for this). Using your pins, place them in however you need to. If they hurt you with words, brain and mouth. If they hurt you physically, hands, kneecaps and brain. You get the idea.

Once you feel satisfied with your poppet, place them in the jar. Fill it with water, the remaining mirror fragments and pickling spice. Wearing gloves or a plastic bag, cut the steal wool into chunks. It’s very abrasive and can be damaging to the skin so cover your soft lil’ hands. Add to jar. You can add anything else you’d like. Shake it.

The spoken part is optional and is up to you. It’s not necessary but totally okay if you do. Could be something as simple as “burn in hell, you rotting piece of shit."

Bury the jar when you feel it’s complete. Stop the song, clean up and cleanse yourself.

Notes: I am obviously curse friendly but I recommend using this one very sparingly. Please do protect yourself beforehand because it’s just the smart thing to do. There is an addenum written into this that if it is unnecessary, it will not work as well if at all. Meaning if someone pisses you off at the grocery store, this won’t do shit to them. Good luck and be smart, friends! Be careful with the poky things and don’t prick yourself.

How to Keep Yourself Protected Before, During, and After Cursing ~ Pt. 1 of 4

As many of you probably know, I am a very curse-friendly witch. If someone is out to harm me, or is willing to harm the people in my circles, I can and will curse them.

I will not curse people for no reason of course, and neither will I curse the people that have done small, insignificant things. As such, my curses are strong, and usually pretty fierce. I have learned a thing or two about protecting oneself when casting curses, and I thought sharing a few of these things may be helpful to you all :)

This is the first post out of four in which I will be giving advice and personal insight on methods of staying safe before. during, and after cursing. I hope they help you and keep you well!

Before You Curse

Set up a nice protection system ahead of time.

Even if you’re not someone who uses curses, it’s a good idea to have barriers and enchantments set up just in case. You never know when you might need them. It’s important to feel and be safe, especially when you’re doing something a bit risky.

As some of you may have realized, there can be backlashes when you curse. This can be caused by a number of things:

the witch you are trying to curse has reflective protection

you made a mistake when casting

someone decided to curse you with whatever curse you placed upon them

You have some unresolved negative energy acting somewhere in your life, and it is triggered by the curse

In all of these scenarios, protecting yourself from harm is a great plan. If the curse does happen to backlash or something goes wrong, it will be diffused and your hide will be saved. I have been hit hard with a reflected curse more than a few times, and all of them happened when I was lazy and decided not to set up protective barriers.

So being protected is nice and all, but it may seem like something that is complex and hard to understand. I’ll break down a method that is pretty simple and easy to follow.

I like to start off my shielding spells with a list of what areas of my life could use some protection.

Things like the self, your home, your career, your relationships, etc. are all pieces of your own little world that definitely need to be guarded. Figure out what you want to place little bubbles around, and write it all down. Keeping the list for reference is something I personally recommend, since I tend to forget, and it could be useful later. Looking at my lists always makes me feel secure.

After you’ve done this, research what type of protection you want to use. Reflective, neutralizing, or offensive are three different types.

Reflective protection just means that whatever curse or energy is directed towards you will be reflected back at the sender. It is usually a bit varied on intensity; the more effort you put into the shielding, the more imminent the reflection will be. But if the sender has a good system set up, they may not be affected at all.

I find that this type of protection is best used if the person you are going to curse will figure out that you are cursing them. I don’t recommend using it for pre-curse protection unless you specify that it must originate from an outside source. It takes a lot of energy, but is worth it for the witch-on-witch curses.

Neutralizing protection neutralizes the backlash/curse directed towards you. Whatever runs into the barrier is made into neutron-esque energy, not really positive nor negative. It works like a shield, and is nice for cursing backlash worriers. I like to use black tourmaline as small neutralizing charms, so that may be a way you can protect yourself. It is my personal favorite pre-curse protection method.

Offensive protection works on the offense; any curses that are trying to reach you are automatically countered with a stronger, more brutal curse. I like to add a reflective protection within offensive protection, since it does twice the damage. But again, be careful and specify where the offense will be directed to.

Now that you’ve got all that information sorted out, you can choose some spells to use! You might even like to blend and mesh a few of them together to create a super protective shielding system, closing all the holes and back doors. Don’t leave room for someone to get to you if you can help it.

Once you find something you believe will work, or have written it out, get to work gathering supplies.

Clean up your house, cleanse anything you feel is holding stagnant energy, and get prepared. I like to take a day of rest in between this stage and the actually protection rituals, but I have done it one after the other in the past, and it does make me feel more focused. (You’ll use a lot of energy, but as long as you feel like everything is good, you should be alright) Burn some sage, scatter salt, and ground yourself. Take a deep breath, and continue.

Finally you can do the rituals!

Spend time and work hard on them. Do the things that make you feel safe, and put all of your protective energy out there to work for you, and get yourself ready to curse. Feel confident in your own abilities as you do this. You are a strong witch.

Take a break. Let yourself cool down so you can curse using as much energy as you want. Do some self-care rituals and surround yourself with invigorating things.I enjoy drinking a lot of gem elixir/moon water during the week leading up to the day I curse (careful with the crystals you use! some are toxic, or dissolve in water). Adding energy to your food is another good idea.

Check your system for breaks or possible weak spots. Reinforce these places with more spells until you feel comfortable. Now you can begin planning your curse and feel safe doing it :)

Hopefully this was helpful and indepth! :D I am writing the other three parts now, and hope to have them out very soon ^_^

First of all, it should be noted that poppets can be used for more than just cursing. They are cute and fun to make and are soooo useful!

Begin//
•you can either make a poppet from felt and stuffing yourself
•or, the route I usually take, you can be a $1.00 fashion doll from your local dollar store.

Personalization//
•it’s important to make the doll LOOK like your subject. Cut its hair, color it with sharpie, draw on thicker eyebrows, tattoos, scars, freckles, birthmarks, makeup, different eye color etc etc. this part is really fun :3

Fill ‘em Up!//
The most powerful part of a poppet are the contents.
•Head cavity: for headaches add rocks, for confusion add lint, for love add paper hearts, for self confidence add glitter.
•Chest cavity: for brokenness in self esteem and emotion add broken glass, for love add hearts, for beauty add pressed flowers, for protection add crystals. Also this is where you can place a small photograph or piece of paper with the subject’s name written on it (or the ashes of such, if it’s a curse)
•Hip cavity: for impotence add glass or rocks, for passion add garlic.

Accessorize//
•dress the poppet the way your subject dresses, or if it’s a curse, you may want to leave it unclothed so that your subject will feel vulnerable and exposed.
•give the poppet things to hold. A purse, backpack, etc.

Identify//
•Write the subject’s name down one of the legs, and a description of them down the other.
•on its back, write your intentions towards them. 'So and so I curse you to feel worthless and have your heart broken’ 'so and so I bless you to be happy and healthy and protected’ or if it’s a poppet of you 'I fill this poppet with energy so that self love it may bring to me’

Charge//
•now, recite your spell that you wrote on it’s back out loud and charge the doll with appropriate energy so that it can carry out the task you’ve given it.

Disposal// (mostly for curse poppets)
•you can dispose of a poppet by way of the 4 elements
•by fire: burn it
•by air: leave it somewhere exposed to the elements
•by earth: bury it (good idea to wrap it in something or put it in a tin box first)
•by water: throw it into flowing water. I would not recommend this as you may anger the lady of the lake by polluting, so what I would do is put it in a jar of aspirin and water and the liquid will slowly eat away at it.
•or, if it’s a love, protection, or glamour doll, you can just store it in a box in your room somewhere out of sight.
•it’s easy to become attached to a poppet, but remember that a cursed poppet should always be disposed of.

A little of yourself goes into every spell, charm, hex and/or curse that you create. Don’t forget to take a little time afterwards to make sure you’re feeling okay. Thirsty, hungry? Have a drink and a snack.Light-headed, tired or dizzy? Take a seat, relax and catch your breath.
